After lunch; Tiana walked upstairs; when she got to Nicklaus's room, she knocked lightly.
Nicklaus was sitting on the couch in the parlor working on his tablet when he heard a knock; he turned immediately to the door;
''Come in. ''
Tiana pushed open the door and stepped in, closing it after her. She had packed her hair up in a bun, so her face was clear to see.
Nicklaus felt her footsteps approaching, but his eyes remained glued to his tablet;
''Mr. Nicklaus, you sent for me. ''
Tiana said with an obedient voice, a little smile on her lips; Nicklaus lifted his head up immediately to look at her; a bit surprised.
He had locked her up for eight days and he expected her to be rude, but here she was calm and collected, like an obedient child.
